Disneyland Paris Refinancing

In September 2012, the Company provided Disneyland Paris with €1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) of intercompany financing, bringing the total financing provided to Disneyland Paris to €1.7 billion ($2.2 billion) as of September 29, 2012. Disneyland Paris used the new financing to repay its outstanding third-party bank debt. The Company recorded a net charge of $24 million on the repayment of the third-party bank debt. Certain of the financial and operating covenants, notably those related to capital expenditures and the payment of royalties and management fees due to the Company were eliminated.

The Company also previously provided Disneyland Paris with lines of credit totaling €250 million ($323 million) which bear interest at EURIBOR. €100 million ($129 million) expires in 2014 and €150 million ($194 million) in 2018. As of September 29, 2012, the line of credit has not been used.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort Capital Realignment

In July 2009, the Company entered into a capital realignment and expansion plan for Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) with the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), HKDL’s majority shareholder. Key provisions of the plan include:

 

   

The Company converted its $354 million term and revolving credit facility loan to HKDL into equity during fiscal 2009. This was accompanied by conversion of an equal amount of the HKSAR loan to HKDL into equity.

 

   

The Company would make approximately $0.4 billion of equity contributions to fund HKDL during the expansion, which is currently scheduled to be completed in phases by 2013. The actual amount of equity contributions by the Company may differ depending on the actual final cost of the expansion and operating results of HKDL during the relevant timeframe. The HKSAR will convert an additional amount of its loan to HKDL equal to these contributions into equity, subject to a maximum conversion amount that would leave approximately HK $1.0 billion ($129 million at September 29, 2012 exchange rates) of the HKSAR loan to HKDL outstanding. At September 29, 2012, the HKSAR loan to HKDL was $267 million. Through fiscal 2012, the Company has made equity contributions totaling $0.3 billion and HKSAR has converted an equal amount of its loan to HKDL to equity. The Company does not currently anticipate making additional equity contributions related to the capital realignment and expansion plan.

As a result of the above arrangement, the Company’s interest in HKDL has increased from 43% to 48%.

Shanghai Disney Resort

On April 8, 2011, the Company and Shanghai Shendi (Group) Co., Ltd (Shendi) announced that the Chinese central government in Beijing had approved an agreement to build and operate Shanghai Disney Resort through a joint venture between the Company and Shendi, in which Shendi owns a 57% interest and the Company owns 43%. Shanghai Disney Resort is currently targeted to open by the end of calendar 2015. The project will be constructed in phases, and we expect the total investment to be approximately 24.5 billion yuan to build the theme park and an additional 4.5 billion yuan to build other aspects of the resort, including two hotels and a retail, dining and entertainment area.
